Dear Judy, Ira, and families,
I have some great, fun memories of Klaus during our high school time. He once gave me advice about career choices (hard to believe, but true!) and that advice has stayed with me for all these years. He was a good man.

Thinking of you,

To Judy and entire Hess family. I am so sorry for your loss. He was always so funny and nice and gave us such a hard time during our college years. I have thought of him often throughout the years and it always brings a smile to my face. My deepest sympathy. Vicki Kuehn Schneider

Dear Hess families. My deepest sympathy to you after reading of your father's passing. Red as I knew him from the old JEL days was always a fun person to be with. Over the years we shared many breakfasts together at the old White Huts. All my memories of him brings a smile to my face. Fondest regards, Gary & Nancy Beren.
